Verizon Offers International Options
Verizon Wireless is offering both prepaid and post-paid customers the option to make international phone calls. Plus they have teamed up with Vodafone reseller Rent-A-Phone to offer international roaming options for CDMA subscribers. There is nothing really new or innovative here except that these new services validate the growing market for wireless international roaming. First we got national roaming plans (AT&T One Rate), then we had Eurpoe roaming plans (Vodafone Eurocall), next we'll have international roaming plans. The world is getting smaller.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
